This comes in 4 packages and they are heavy this is fairly easy to assemble it took my husband 4 hours with a little help from me and a few breaks.lol the pillows and seats are very comfortable and they unzip and are machine washable as well and you can put this together any way you wish be careful when opening the fireplace box because the top is stone and you dont want to break them but this is amazing I absolutely adore this patio set.
